I think part of the problem, whether deserved or not, is the belief that the senior captains may be a CRM issue. Case in point, the top 200 or so captains at ASA were captains when I was a new hire. Now they would be my FO at Delta. I know a few who would have an issue with that! Also, there were a few who carried a certain "attitude" into the interview which may have poisoned the well for their compatriots.
